About
My path has never been linear — and that has become one of my greatest strengths.
I was born in Chengdu and began my career as an educator after studying materials science. Teaching led me back to the literature I had always loved, and eventually to Hong Kong, where I completed a master’s degree in Chinese Studies and spent seven years learning how to live, work and communicate across cultures.
In 2023, I moved to Paris and started again — this time in technology. With no traditional computer science background, I completed an intensive programme at EPITA, found one of my class’s earliest internships and turned it into a permanent role. Today, I work with data while using Python and AI to make everyday processes more thoughtful and efficient.
Outside work, I write, travel and bring people together. Having explored 34 countries, mostly solo, I am interested in how people learn, adapt, build belonging and create a life that feels truly their own.

Tech & AI
A work in progress
Exploring AI,
one useful workflow at a time.
I came to tech from literature and education. Today I use data, Python and AI to understand problems, reduce repetitive work and keep learning by building.

Community
Bringing people
around the same table.
I believe belonging is something we can build — through shared questions, useful conversations and, sometimes, a very good meal.
